   I asked Tom to design and build a customised dining table for me. The brief was: (1) Create a table that had dimensions to accommodate my 12 upholstered chairs (2) Bring in elements from the chairs such as the rich wood tones, including the shape and colouring of the black stained legs, (3) Allow the table to be dismantled for moving should we need to in the future. Really delighted with Tom’s approach to working with me, including regular video calls and sample wood stains to ensure the end product met expectations. Thank you Tom for your craftsmanship and care. The family and I love this beautiful and functional table so much!

   I contacted Tom having seen a beautiful table on his website. He immediately phoned me to discuss my design for a bespoke table and I mentioned I wanted to match it with some Ercol chairs. He guided me with my options on choice of wood and size to accommodate the chairs. I patiently waited and the masterpiece was delivered and it is fabulous and looks great with the chairs. It has individuality and character and I admire it every time I sit at the table - I’m delighted with it!

   Great Experience with Orpago After looking for dining room furniture for many years at various stores without success our internet searches eventually found Orpago. Working with Tom and his team on a bespoke dining table, chairs, and sideboard was a pleasure. The quality of craftsmanship is outstanding. Tom was easy to work with, taking the time to understand what we required and offering helpful suggestions along the way. We recommend Orpago for anyone looking for custom, well-made furniture.

   We recently purchased the Thorncombe table from Orpago. The table is beautifully made from solid oak and the addition of breadboard ends are a lovely feature - it’ll last a lifetime! We also went for the Richmond chairs which are very comfortable. Tom even took the time to deliver the furniture himself!

   We commissioned Tom to source the timber and produce a dining room table and bench for our new house near Norwich. We started the journey by visiting his workshop in Loddiswell, Devon where we were made to feel most welcome and were able to see, first hand, the standard of his craftmanship and to meet some of his equally skilled colleagues. Tom steered us through the intricacies of the process and at all times provided answers to our questions in a clear and concise manner. We were given ample time and choice to make our final decision and, once we had, Tom began the procurement and manufacture, keeping us appraised throughout. The end result were two pieces of furniture of outstanding quality and design which now grace our dining room. Tom and a colleague delivered and assembled the table personally, which was a round trip of 700 miles. The items almost feel like a part of the family and live and breathe with us. He is the consummate artisan and has an unparalleled calm and pleasing nature. We could not recommend him more highly.

   Tom and his team at Orpago are true professional craftsmen and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Having searched all over for a distinctive but simple table and chairs to complement our new kitchen, we were delighted to find Orpago's lovely website, and treated ourselves to a weekend in Devon and a visit to their workshops. Tom listened carefully to all our ideas and aspirations and has crafted beautiful pieces which have completely surpassed our expectations. Right down to choosing the specific pieces of oak which has the kinds of colour, tone and markings in that we liked and a finish that would be practical for a kitchen as well. Tom took time and care to work through all the fine details of the design with us to make sure it would be suitable, like the depth of the rail and the construction of the extra leaves. We chose two different designs of chair to give ourselves options depending on how may we want to seat at one time. He also adapted the design of the chairs to make two lovely bar-stools as well. Even if you can't make a trip to visit them, the website has a great customisation tool and Tom sent us samples of woods to check the colour and finish, which were very accurate. Tom has been a pleasure to deal with at all times and we are very happy that we took the decision to ask him to produce these for us. We will definitely be back for more at the first possible excuse! Thankyou Tom and all the wonderful team at Orpago.

   Orpago made a custom designed TV cabinet from English pippy oak and ash for us. Tom was very responsive and helpful throughout the planning stage and we now have a cabinet that well exceeds our expectations - it`s beautiful and well worth the inevitable expense incurred in commissioning a bespoke piece.
